| Posted by kreemoweet (Seattle, WA - Zone 8b) on Aug 15, 2017 10:52 AM Germination of seed of this species can take quite some time. I gave up on these after holding seeds outdoors in 4-in pots for 2-3 yrs, and dumped them all into a large common pot, also outdoors. Early the next spring, I found numerous seedlings emerging. Almost mistook for the nearly identical L. annua seedlings, which I have everywhere from a neighbor's plantings. The source of the L. rediviva seed was either JLHudsonSeedsman or Jelitto Perennial Seed, or possibly a mix of both. [ Reply to this comment | |
